    Old guy with a great old ride--but you knew that part!

    Welcome! The Supra looks really clean, it's cool that you're the original owner. I'm the second owner of my Supra. I am in the same boat as you with the suspension, so I'm very interested in your results with the fortune auto coilovers. How much do you plan to lower the car? It sounds like you...

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1, 2, 3,...NOW FOUR!

    I've debated putting louvers on mine as well, but I can't decide if I want to or not. Mine is completely stock appearing from the outside aside from the tint as well so I'm not sure how it would go with it. Where did you get the louvers, and how do they mount to the car?

    James' 89 Supra Turbo

    Wow, I'm not sure how I missed all the recent updates in this build. Looks like you are making good progress with the Supra. I love both your 4Runners too. I've been through the build threads on both of them on T4R and they are beautiful. I've got a 3rd gen 4Runner too. I've done a little bit of...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Are the previa calipers some sort of an upgrade?

    My supra (and first car) has been deemed a total loss, should I keep it for later?

    It really depends on how attached you are to the car. I know I am very attached to mine. It's more than just a car to me, but you may feel differently about yours. My Supra was also my first car and I don't ever have any intentions of getting rid of it. It was the car that I learned how to work...

    Messing around with my car again.

    Haha, I bet it'd be hard to keep that under control without all that extra down-force from the spoiler. I hope your daughter's tournament goes well, good luck! We will have to try and plan something sometime then. I know of two other guys up here who have MK3's as well and are always down to...

    Messing around with my car again.

    Ah, nice. You're not far from me at all then. Maybe in the Spring once you have the car all buttoned up we can try and get some of the Alabama Supras together and go to a show or so.

    Messing around with my car again.

    Don't mean to get off topic here, but I've always admired your car in your sig. I never realized that your Supra was in such a high HP range either. Are you in the B'ham area? I'm up in Huntsville, I'd love to see your car sometime.

    1st gear whining noise

    Fill is on the side and drain is on the bottom. Should be easy to tell where they are once you see them. Don't forget to put the washers back on when you put them in, or preferably just replace the washers.

    1st gear whining noise

    This is what I do. I don't like taking the interior apart more than I have to.

    Linear Rate Springs - Options?

    Thanks for getting the info. I'm actually really interested in the King Standard ones. If they are the same height as the 89+ springs that are just a tad lower than the pre89 springs that would be the perfect drop for me. Have you seen anywhere that sells them in the US though?

    Linear Rate Springs - Options?

    Sounds good. Thanks for putting this together so we have an updated list for these things!

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Drove her, took the long way home through a couple of kinda twisty roads, and got a tank of 93 octane at Chevron.

    You run a completely new harness for them that comes when you order the retrofit kit. The only thing that the stock wiring does is signal the relay on the new harness to power the lights on. There's no additional load on the stock wiring. Yup. I've got 4300k and I'm super happy with them.

    Linear Rate Springs - Options?

    I've never even heard of King springs, but I'm kinda interested. Any idea if they are quality good springs, or are they cheap stuff? Would you happen to have the info for the King Standard springs as well?

    The Small Questions Thread

    Yeah those are definitely the best option for plug and play. I put a lot of work into my projectors, and I don't regret it, but it was also very time consuming. The Truck Lite lights keep going down in price too. Right now there is a seller on ebay selling them for $184 a piece so $368 for a...

    The Small Questions Thread

    Not really. You need projectors for HIDS to work well and to get projectors into H4 housings you will need to do a lot of cutting of the housings and modifying. If you want a bolt in headlight replacement I would look at the LED headlights for our cars. They don't perform nearly as well as a...

    Shock/Spring Removal, Disassembly, Assembly and Installation

    Alright, I'll look around for the mounts and such. Thanks for measuring the heights later then. I'm really hoping they won't drop too much, but they probably will for my needs unfortunately. I'm sure it does take a long time. The only write up I've ever done was one on changing the high...

    sc300 or 84 celica

    This. They are kinda odd looking cars, but I like them for that. I'm not sure why, but I like them.

    Shock/Spring Removal, Disassembly, Assembly and Installation

    Very nice write up!!! I really like your site as well, lots of good info there. I will definitely use this whenever I can make a decision on what to do with my suspension. I have TEMS, but I am not sure if I want to keep it. One day I convince myself I should, and another day I think I should...
